Chapter Fifteen: Secret Revealed/ Stolen Kiss

Disclaimer: Don't own anything but the story.

~Telepathy~

"Talking"

'Thinking'

`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~

Usagi watched with her Uncle as both Weiss and Schwarz started getting ready to do battle.

"Kami-Sama. I had better put a stop too this before my new home gets totally demolished." She thought to herself.

Concentrating on the thought patterns of both Weiss and Schwarz; Usagi tapped in to their minds gently and said: ~All right you bakas, that's more than enough! I have finally come too think of the place as my home. I will not allow you all too destroy it!~

Both teams stopped short and blinked when they heard Usagi's voice in their heads. (Well Weiss did Schwarz just stopped.) They turned their attention towards Usagi who looked quite annoyed, She had her arms crossed and her facial features were in full pout.

Aya, Yohji, Ken, and Omi glanced toward Schwarz with the expression that clearly said 'Did we just hear Usagi-chan's voice in our heads?'

To which Crawford, Schuldich, and Nagi smirked with the tell tale expressions of 'You'd better believe it.'

Weiss closed their eyes in dismay. "Oh great, Usagi-chan is a telepath and knows our secrets. I don't want too kill her." Was the collective thought.

Usagi's left eyebrow raised slightly when she heard their thoughts. "Like they could; I have had several attempts on my life when I was Sailor Moon. And besides even if they did kill me I would only be reborn again." She thought to herself.

She turned her attention back to the two teams and calmly told them: ~Look Minna-san, I don't know how my two Oji's hired you,~ She looked thoughtful for a moment. ~Well scratch that, I already knew about Reiji Oji Sans criminal activities; and that Schwarz are his own personal bodyguards and assassins. Demo I didn't think that Shuuichi Oji Chan would hire another team of assassins to by my bodyguards.~

Seeing that Aya was about to open his mouth and retort Usagi added: ~Use your thoughts Aya-kun, I really don't care for the idea of everyone in the room finding out that I'm a telepath.~ Aya closed his mouth. ~Arigato.~

Usagi turned her attention towards her two Uncles; Reiji was making his way towards Crawford. Evidently to tell the Pre-Cog that both Weiss and Schwarz were supposed to work together in order to protect Usagi from the assassin Akiko. She also saw that Shuuichi was talking to Manx telling her about the change of plans.

~Well, It certainly seems that my Oji Reiji has decided too take advantage of your temporary lull in fighting, and give you your new instructions about working together Schwarz,~ She turned her attention towards Manx who was heading for Aya. ~ And It also seems that your supervisor in catering is coming over to find out what's going on Weiss.~ she blocked out Schwarz as she told them. ~ Actually Manx is coming over with your new orders as well, which will be too work together with Schwarz.~ There was an uncharacteristic smirk on her face when she saw their expressions. ~We will talk more later. Bai.~ And with that Weiss and Schwarz felt her gently break the connection with them.

Manx had just been told about the change of plans and was making her way towards Aya who was just standing in the middle of the room staring at Usagi with a surprised expression on his face along with his fellow teammates. She also noticed that Reiji Takatori was also making his way over to Crawford of Schwarz who along with Schuldich and Nagi were also looking at Usagi.

"Well, I see that Takatori-San has reached Oracle, now I have too reach Abyssinian." She thought to herself.

When she got there however she was surprised when Aya held up his hand and said: "We already know about the order of working together with Schwarz, and even though we all hate the idea. We will do our best to put aside our personal vendettas with Schwarz. For Usagi-chan's sake."

Manx's jaw dropped. (Which amused both Weiss and Schwarz because Reiji's jaw had dropped at the exact same time because Crawford had told him the exact same thing.)

'How in the heck did they know about that? I only just now found out myself, Hmm…I guess that I will have too wait and find out later.' She thought to herself.

Reiji on the other hand remembered the telepathic message that his Mei had given him when he had gone to Shuuichi's office when he had learned that his younger brother had been given legal custody of Usagi.

'I had almost forgotten that Usagi-chan is a telepath.' He thought to himself.

Usagi's lips twitched upward slightly in amusement when she had heard both Manx and Reiji's thoughts on what their two teams had just said.

'Hmm…I wonder if I should let Manx-san and Shuuichi-chan in on my little secret?' she wondered to herself but before she could decide she felt a hand on her shoulder. She stiffened for a moment until she heard Haruka's voice whispering in her ear.

"Is everything all right Koneko chan? I heard a loud shout." She said while looking for any sign of danger.

Usagi smiled gently at the Senshi of Wind and nodded her head saying: "Hai Ruka-chan, I just had too stop a fight before it got out of hand."

Haruka turned her attention towards Weiss and Schwarz who were grudgingly shaking hands with each other, when by all appearances what they really wanted to do was kill each other.

"I see…I take it that those our the two rival teams that you were telling us the other day." It was a statement not a question.

Usagi nodded her head and gave a warm smile to her uncle Shuuichi who was currently leaning against a pillar in relief that his home wasn't being demolished.

"Hai…they were about too fight when they ran in to each other, so I had too use my telepathy in order too stop them." She replied tiredly. She had a feeling that she was going to have to keep close tabs on both Weiss and Schwarz so they wouldn't attack each other and hurt innocent people in the process. 'Great..Just what I didn't need, supervising two assassin teams so that they won't endanger anyone. I'm suddenly nostalgic for when the Black Moon Family attacked the Earth. That seems a whole lot easier too deal with.' She thought to herself.

Haruka was about to ask Usagi why there were so many Security guards in the building when Michiru walked up to her and Usagi saying: "Excuse me Usagi-Hime, demo it's time for Haruka's solo performance."

Usagi nodded her head in acknowledgement and watched Haruka and Michiru head back towards the corner where the piano had been placed. The room quieted down to listen to Haruka playing 'The Moonlight Sonata'. As she played all of the tension in Usagi's body seemed to leave her.

'I can always count on Haruka-chan too play something that will relax me.' She smiled fondly towards the tomboy who had been watching her as she played. She leaned against the pillar that she was next to and let the music take her away from all of her worries and troubles. Haruka smiled back and turned her attention back to the keyboard relieved that her beloved Hime was finally relaxing and enjoying the evening.

While she was listening Usagi sensed a presence standing next to her. She opened her eyes and saw that Aya was standing next to her obviously wanting to talk to her about something.

"So how long have you known about us?" he asked her coldly.

Usagi frowned in frustration; she had been happily listening to the Sonata and letting it take her away from all of the constant worries and troubles, and Aya just had to come and ruin it for her. She understood why he wanted to question her but did he honestly have to do it right now?

She sighed in defeat and replied: "Since I stepped in to your Flower Shop yesterday afternoon and ordered the flower arrangements for tonight's Dinner Party." She lied she didn't want Aya to know that her uncle Shuuichi was Persia. She knew that Aya hated all Takatori's except for her cousin Omi. A small bit of information that was constantly haunting Omi's thoughts and one that Usagi decided to help him overcome. (to the best of her capabilities anyway).

'I don't think that Oji-chan is ready for Aya-kun finding out his secret just yet.' She thought to herself as she resumed her earlier position against the pillar.

Aya watched her as she went back to leaning against the pillar closing her eyes and leaning her head against it. 'She seems too be asleep, and yet I sense that she is wide awake and alert to everything that's going on in here.' He thought to himself watching her through narrowed eyes.

Usagi inwardly grinned at Aya's mental assesment of her. 'He is clearly no one's fool.' She thought to herself . She then detected the Head caterer looking for the redheaded server who was supposed to be gathering the dessert plates. "I do believe that the Head caterer is looking for you Aya-kun." She murmured.

Aya turned his attention away from Usagi and noticed the Head Caterer looking around. He gave a small grunt and walked away toward the Kitchen door, leaving Usagi with a small grin on her face.

Schuldich who had been watching this narrowed his eyes. "Watch yourself Abyssinian, the Tenshi is mine." He heard Usagi giggle: ~"Why Schuldich-san, don't tell me that your jealous. Aya-kun was just asking me a few questions, not discussing a Dinner date."

Schuldich blinked and then smirked ~"Lucky for him Tenshi, I don't take kindly to rivals; especially rivals that come from Weiss. Speaking of Dinner Dates how about you and I going out tomorrow night? I know a wonderful restraunt near the bay that serves a wonderful Seafood Bisque."~ He told her telepathically

Usagi who still had her eyes closed ever so slightly raised one of her eyebrows. ~"Nice try Schuldich-san, demo I still have not forgiven you for your part in my family's death. Or what you told my Otousan back in the cabin."~ she thought back.

Schuldich sighed in exasperation. ~" Well then Tenshi I guess I will just have to convince you that my feelings for you are genuine."~

Usagi opened her eyes and turned her head so that she was facing Schuldich. ~" What feelings? According too Nagi and Crawford-san. Females are just playthings too you. You tell them that you are sincere, and when they have finally given their hearts too you and slept with you, you cast them aside and go looking for new victims. Leaving behind crushed and broken hearts. I have already had my heart broken; I won't let it happen again. If you are serious then you are going too have to prove it to me somehow. Otherwise don't make promises too me that you really don't intend to keep."~ With that she severed their telepathic link; leaving Schuldich taken aback by what she had just said.

'Usagi-chan, no matter what I will prove too you that my feelings are sincere. No matter what.'

`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~

As the party neared it's end the guests started heading toward the coat checker. Usagi stood next to Shuuichi shaking hands with the departing guests and bidding them Good Night.

When the last of the Party guests departed. (Including the very distraught Politician Yamada, Shiro. Whose two nephews were the ones who were discovered mutilated in the Garage. He had walked up to Shuuichi and asked him to contact him about the killer's identity.)

Shuuichi nodded his head and promised that he would. While Usagi offered her sincerest condolences to the grieving elderly man.

"Arigato child." He said to her gratefully. "I don't know what they were doing in that garage too begin with." His expression darkened; " Demo I'm sure that I can make an educated guess."

He bowed to Usagi and then left muttering something about the disgrace of having two Ecchi's for nephews. Shuuichi shut the door after the elderly gentleman had left and sighed to himself. He also could figure out what the Yamada twins had been doing down there. They had several charges against them due to sexual assault; and since Usagi was the only young girl in the whole building. (Hotaru was still grounded for going with Omi and not telling Haruka about it.) She had to have been the target for their lust.

"Usagi-chan why don't you go on up too bed. Reiji-Niisan and I have some things to discuss in my office. I'll see you in the morning." He told her fondly.

Usagi nodded her head and kissed his cheek saying: "Oyasumi Oji-chan." She made her way up the stairs and toward her bedroom. When she was outside the door she could both hear and sense that Luna and Artemis were in great distress.

"I wonder what's wrong?" she thought to herself.

She opened the door slowly and turned on the light; and what she saw made her faint. (A.N. You would to if you saw that your room resembled a slaughterhouse. _.) But just as she started to fall to the floor. A Pair of strong arms scooped her off her feet and started carrying down the hall and into a darkened spare bedroom that was across the hall from Shuuichi's. Before Usagi had completely surrendered to the darkness however she felt a pair of warm lips claiming hers, and then she felt nothing more.

`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~

Well Minna, I hope that you enjoy this chapter. In the next one Usagi will be getting a nasty shock. And one of the Inner Senshi will die. I am not going to say which one it's going to be a surprise. ^_~.
